how to say “customer service” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger

שֵׁירוּת לָקוֹחוֹת

The Hebrew word for service is שירות
. It comes straight from Biblical Hebrew, where people would serve in the Tabernacle and the Temple.

What about customer service? That’s שירות לקוחות
, as in:

אנחנו מתגאים בשירות הלקוחות שלנו.

We are proud of our customer service.

לקוחות
is the plural of לקוח
– a customer… or literally, a taker.
